I've played a few times. I usually play as Heihachi since I'm used to Tekken's button combinations, fighting style, etc.
My friends are crazy about it... I think it's alright. I've never really liked fighting games though.
I played in on the GC, i usually played as Link or Kilik. It's alright, i usually play it with my wee brother.
I used to play it a ton when I went over to my friend's house. It was a button smasher for sure, but I never won, anyway. She never told me how to throw people...
I've got it on GC and PS2, I always played as Link or Kilik on GC, or Heihachi on PS2, now SC3 is out, I can't stop playing that.
I have SCII for the GC. It's by far the best SC in the series.. at least until SCIV comes out, that is. I have high expectations, and it better surpass this game, since SCIII failed to do so. Oh, and it's not a button masher. I suppose you can pull off some moves by hitting any old directional button at the same time as command buttons, but you'll find it most unlikely to be able to pull off harder, better moves like Ivy's Summon Suffering. That's why you train and learn the button combinations to pull off the good moves.
the button combos are fun to do. i guess i see it as a button masher since i havent tried to play it on hard yet :D
